The problematic of the stable development is very wide. Recognition of ecological aspects of stable development composes a guarantee of health in ecosystems and especially for the community. The monitoring of the air that is carried out in Tirana shows that the most important polluters continue to be the total dust LGS and respiratory dust PM 10. The average quantity of lead in the monitored air drops has been increased from 0.19 μgm

to 0.29 μgm

, i.e., an amount of 50 Pb that is constantly increasing in the content of urban air almost in all monitored places of the country. Many sources of air pollution have always existed.

Cities all over the world are currently experiencing climate change caused by rapidly increasing atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHGs). Fortunately, cities may mitigate GHG concentrations by incorporating vegetation into green urban infrastructure (GUI) to develop parks, green roofs, waterways, and other structures. For example, plants sequester carbon (C) by removing atmospheric CO2 and incorporating it into their tissues through photosynthesis, behaving as carbon sinks1. GUI may also remove urban air pollutants,...

How can we stop outdated assumptions from forcing us to waste?
Personal heaters are a summer survival tool for many office workers chilled to the bone by hyperactive ventilation systems — an act of self-defense against an epidemic of overcooling that is wasting energy and confounding comfort in not only offices but also large shops, schools and other buildings. An audit of U.S. government buildings found that over three-fifths of their occupants felt too cold in the summer. The most likely culprit behind...

Dropshaft cascades are typical elements of sewer systems in steep urban catchment basins. The design of a dropshaft cascade, which is generally addressed as an optimization problem, also needs to consider the subsequent effects induced on the flow by the different elements of the cascade. Experimental research has been performed at the hydraulic engineering laboratory of the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio in order to investigate the basic flow patterns in a dropshaft cascade, with particular reference...

Introduction
Concern about urban air quality is not new. Complaints were recorded in the 13th century when coal was first used in London. Since the middle of the 19th century, the atmosphere of the major British cities was regularly polluted by coal smoke in winter, giving rise to an infamous mixture of fog and smoke known as smog. Today the emphasis has shifted from the pollution problems caused by industry to the ones associated with motor vehicle emissions. The following pages show in chronological order the...
